Public bug reported:
1) Ubuntu 21.10
2) gnome-terminal (3.38.1-1ubuntu2)
3) The Preferences window should pop up
4) A new instance of Terminal is opened.
The reason is in the desktop entry for Terminal, the last line (23) to
be precise:
[Desktop Action preferences]
Name=Preferences
Exec=gnome-terminal
However, manually appending the --preferences option changes absolutely
nothing, even if running instances of Terminal are present. In addition,
the --zoom=ZOOM option is not recognized either.
Other applications, such as Firefox, are working as intended and offer
appropriate windows/actions.
